# CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

## Project Overview

n8n-mcp is a comprehensive documentation and knowledge server that provides AI assistants with complete access to n8n node information through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It serves as a bridge between n8n's workflow automation platform and AI models, enabling them to understand and work with n8n nodes effectively.

## Memories and Notes for Development

### Development Workflow Reminders
- When you make changes to MCP server, you need to ask the user to reload it before you test
- When the user asks to review issues, you should use GH CLI to get the issue and all the comments
- When the task can be divided into separated subtasks, you should spawn separate sub-agents to handle them in paralel
- Use the best sub-agent for the task as per their descriptions
